Ideal for applications requiring precise positioning, Firgelli's PQ series of micro linear actuators offer closed-loop control of the actuator's stroke position along it's full length of travel. We can also customize our standard PQ-12 to meet the requirements of your specific application.
| PQ12 | Compact form factor, position feedback or limit switches. Three different speed force combinations are available, and two voltages.
Pricing: $65 (USD) per unit. $55 each for 10 or more.

| CIB | Optional controller and demonstration board for the PQ-12 actuator. Also works with the L12 -P model actuator Pricing: $40 (USD) per unit. $30 each for 10 or more. |
L Series
Firgelli's new L series of micro linear actuators combine the best features of our existing micro actuator families into a highly flexible, configurable and compact platform.
| L12 | The first member of the L series, the L12, is an axial design like the LS-series, but utilizes a more powerful drive and a rectangular cross section for increased strength. But by far the most attractive feature of this actuator is the broad spectrum of configurations in which it will be available:
Pricing: $70 (USD) per unit for basic model. $80 per unit for switches or feedback. $90 per unit for integrated controller. $10 per unit discount when you buy 10. |
| L6 | 6.35 mm square micro linear actuator, 5 N maximum force. |
| L16 | 16mm version of the L12 with 2x the speed and force. Pricing: TBD |
| L12-NXT | Lego Mindstorm®, Power Functions®, and Technic® compatible Linear Actuators. These linear actuators are self contained units which include an electric motor.
For use with your NXT Brick you will need a standard NXT® connection cable to connect it in place of one of the Mindstorm® Servos, and you will need to download the Firgelli L12-NXT Mindstorms® Block here.
The L12-NXT will push 25N, and will move at 12mm/s unloaded.
For manual use with Lego® Power Functions you will require the Cable-NXT-PF available on this site.
For manual use with older Technic® style battery packs you will require the Cable-NXT-Technic available on this site. Danny Benedettelli has created a library of NXC drivers for the L12-NXT actuators. Download the L12-NXT NXC Library here.
Xander Soldaat has created a RobotC driver for the L12-NXT actuators. Download the RobotC Library v1.3 here.
